📖 Bible Story Example – Jesus Stayed Silent Under Pressure
In Matthew 27 KJV, when Jesus was being falsely accused, the religious leaders expected Him to argue. But He didn’t say a word.
Even Pilate was shocked, asking, “Don’t you hear what they’re saying about you?” But Jesus remained silent. Why? Because His mission was bigger than their noise.
That’s power.
🌍 Real World Example – Don’t Debate the Barbecue
Tasha went to a family BBQ. Her uncle brought up politics again. She felt her inner clapback rise like smoke off the grill.
But this time, she paused. Took a bite of potato salad. And stayed quiet.
Later, her cousin said, “I respect how you stayed calm.” Turns out her silence said more than her mouth ever could.
💡 Takeaway Thought:
Sometimes silence is the smartest answer—especially when it saves your peace.
❓ Reflection Question:
When was the last time you won an argument but lost your peace? Was it worth it?
